Damn blast from the past, my friend would come over in like 5th grade when we discovered Minecraft and we'd just take turns playing it

Oh man, the memories this comment summoned in me. My friend who launched Minecraft complained that it was crashing (insufficient RAM error) and didn't fix it, despite my tips. Good old days :)

Now I'm nostalgic for the YouTube parties of old...

I remember having group discussions as to whether to keep going in the Alta Vista search whenever we searched for something.

"Okay let's stop at page 10"

"Nah, just a couple pages more. There might be something new."

"Like half of these links are about Polish vintage cars already. We've seen every Princess Toad site."

"Just go to page 11...."

This actually happened lol. One computer in the house, everyone had to wait their turn.

I'd visit my friend from school and we'd play Diablo in his basement for hours. I guess I'm a normal amount of years old too!

The 'internet of things' is really getting out of control if we have houses posting on here now.

It's true, I was the computer

I had a friend who moved from the US to the UK when she was about 10. We'd sit at her mum's computer and play 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?', looking up the various clues in the Cyclopaedia on the bookshelf.

I would move my computer to the living room so people weren't in my bedroom 😅
